Joe Rogan Experience #1602 - Justin Wren

the Joe Rogan experience train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night all day
what's up my man what's up buddy you got a whole book of stuff to talk about
yeah I'm prepared I'm
prepared a little bit there's something special there's something special and
we're gonna kick
this off with a bang oh yeah something I don't know about something you don't
know about oh
oh but we'll get into it okay yeah special yeah tell me you do it now sure
awesome let's do it
what's happening well you and your team you uh picked fight for the forgotten
uh my nonprofit
as charity of choice with Buffalo Trace yes and we're gonna do something really
special for all
your fans oh but first um I wanted to do something I talked with Bo Beckman his
great grandfather's
I think his name's like T.H. I don't know Eckert or something like that he um
he started basically
the modern day bourbon in America so anyways I asked him I was talking with Bo
and said can we do
something special for Joe and he was like yeah what do you what are you
thinking and so I talked with my
buddy Ryan who's the vice president of our board and we thought about it and we're
like what if we
could get a barrel from Buffalo Trace and we could give it to Joe and so we
thought we'd do a sample
tasting for you and you get to pick a single barrel select basically I guess I'm
not a whiskey connoisseur
but basically you're about to be able to do a wine or not wine but whiskey
tasting really you're gonna be
able to pick out your own Buffalo Trace barrel that doesn't taste like any of
the rest what I didn't know
about barrels of whiskey is that what is it they come from like 70 to 90 year
old trees and then
each one of them starts off as kind of like this moonshine look and it's clear
when they put it in
the barrels but then the the taste of whiskey comes from like 67 percent of the
taste comes from the
barrel itself really yeah but the trees are all different trees right so those
things I think
they call them staves or something it's like uh 28 to 35 of those things that
make the barrel but
they come from all these different trees yeah the wood slats um and so they all
taste different
every barrel whenever it's a single select barrel so I guess like what they do
at Buffalo Trace is
they take a bunch of those barrels and they put them all in there together so
it has one consistent
taste but whenever you just take one barrel it's always a unique flavor okay so
we got a few of them
for you to try goddamn whiskey nerds I'm not a whiskey nerd but here we go here's
gonna be sample one I
need you to put that maybe to the left or right try to test these yeah here's
the idea it's like I'm
gonna get hammered again need glasses do you we we got them right here I got
them right here I talked to
Bo helped us out so do you like yours with water in it no no what am I girl
well this this is the idea
or this is how we wanted to say thank you is you need to pick your own thing
yep here's a glass oh
this is hilarious but this is why we're doing it it's nerdy sure this is gonna
be great don't worry
it's not a negative yeah here's why we're doing it is we wanted to say thank
you from fight for the
forgotten and Buffalo Trace because we're about to do this big raffle for fight
for the forgotten
but you'll get 220 bottles yourself from whatever whiskey you choose 220
bottles of whiskey yeah but
what we're gonna do Christ you trying to kill me no we're trying to give you a
gift that you can give
your guest okay well that's if you'd like it'll have the Joe Rogan experience
logo on it I'll have
a thank you from fight for the forgotten so this is sample number one that's
sample number one go on
the left was sample number one sample number one right there and then it's
gonna be a real problem
this episode I might start crying this is sample number two okay I can tell you
about them actually
can you really a little bit specifically I like how they come in these little
like whiskey uh flask type
deals yeah so they took this straight from the barrel and each one of these
should have a very
distinct or different taste and so basically you can choose it I mean you can
figure out I don't know if
you want to take notes that's real nerdy but they gave me one of these oh Bo's
a great guy what is it
nerds like hints and tastes you can do barrel one two three four no no no no no
now you're gonna
remember we'll do this right here but by the time I get to barrel three just
guesswork I did a pot uh
tasting thing once it was uh pot tasting canvas yeah yeah it was a um cannabis
cop I was one of the
judges it was ridiculous I was uh obliterated but by the time I got to like the
third or fourth
choice I had no idea where I was I'm like I couldn't feel my legs all right so
let's try number one
sample number one is seven years and nine months old okay came from warehouse L
for on the fourth floor
taste good taste good very good so now you would have to choose if you want
this race they make a
damn good whiskey yeah they do all right they've been so good to us that's
number one now try number
two I feel like such a dork I'm smelling it and shit like you know I do that at
one like if I buy a glass
of wine in a restaurant they pour it for you they let you smell it I don't know
what the fuck I'm doing
I pretend you would know there's this I've asked that too because I used to
serve it I'd be like why
are people doing this this seems so dumb no one's ever given one back on a rare
occasion you have
to send one back because like something oh one time I did have to send the
glass back by the glass
because I think they had it open too long I was like I'm sorry I never do this
but I go this tastes
like vinegar it's terrible yeah yeah it can rarely happen but but I think that
was at a place where the
bottle was just sitting around for like a couple weeks or something and nobody
had ordered it there we
go number two number two this one is eight years three months old it's very
good too which one do
you like between the two do you know they're both really good I don't know they
do make good fucking
whiskey like you take you can taste the difference like some people like how do
you tell what's the
difference so this is this is how Bo said it all you got to do is like if you
have four pancakes in
front of you keep it simple which pancake do you like the best fucking pancakes
it was three yeah
three's got a nice taste that's that's a little unusual or is it rank three is
eight years two
months old mmm so three the oldest actually twos the oldest so far eight years
three months two and
three are my favorites two and three one it's guessing if you gave me one and
said it was three I'd be
like amazing I have good taste so you could see if one has more character I'm
like a bolder flavor
one that you think your friends would enjoy more that don't know much about
whiskey they're all the
same they're all the same I'm lying I'm lying to these people I can't tell the
difference they're all
great I think three was slightly different through a slightly different but
they're all taste like you again
really good whiskey do I like you like three and two all right Jesus Christ we're
gonna do two and
three down two and three but that's just like if you gave me a bottle of one
and told me it was
three I'd be like perfect I really wouldn't know okay I'm just lying here we go
here's three
it's real good all right here's two
I mean maybe there's a slight difference between two and three let's just go
with three it's a good
number three three is the magic number according to De La Soul three is the
magic number and that one
was born October 25th 2012 all right perfect that's when it was born yay so
basically what we're gonna
do is we're gonna be able to do that and make you a bottle uh 220 bottles and
it'll have the Joe Rogan
experience logo on it and then you can give it to your your guest as a thank
you for being on the show
I like it do you drink no not at all I don't this is actually freedom for me I
don't even
but I can be around it and so and I can enjoy it because this is what Buffalo
Trace has done for us
Jamie I don't know if it's okay you don't drink at all uh nothing not anymore
when did you stop um
when I was 23 so I'm 33 did we talk about this we have talked about this we've
talked about it yeah
I'm gonna talk about a little more yeah but um on fight for the forgotten.org
there's something
really special that Buffalo Trace did because you told them to donate to us um
it's the first thing
on our website it's a a raffle that we're doing around December 15,000 people
try to get a hold of one
of these barrels and so if you hit order or enter today basically on there
there's a Buffalo Trace
whiskey raffle and on that you get like a Disney World experience for whiskey
lovers you get to go
out to the Buffalo Trace distillery and you get to you and seven guests would
be able to do it you
know you can enter well for ten dollars twenty five dollars fifty dollars or a
hundred dollars
and you get a VIP tour Beau's gonna do it himself you know his great great
grandfather is the one that
basically modernized bourbon drinking today and then you get to stay at the
lodge that they have there
and then I'm gonna go up there and visit them and we're gonna go around all the
different warehouses
and they can taste literally straight from the barrel and then at the end they
could they could either buy
a barrel for themselves and have 220 uh bottles or we're trying to find a donor
maybe uh my friend
ryan llewellyn who's a whiskey connoisseur he might go ahead and buy it on
their behalf and they'll get
220 bottles themselves and so uh that's so much to give someone yeah but they
get to pick it trouble
well well actually they said that they they could resell it to any um like
local store any store is
probably gonna buy it oh yeah for sure so they'll make a profit off of it but
do you know this this
company's older than the united states wow buffalo traces from 1773 wow yeah
they're three years older
than the united states that's wild that's wild that's wild that is a that's a
long-standing
company yeah wow so our goal on that is to raise a hundred thousand dollars bo
really thinks we can
do it we even thought man if 15 000 people tried to do um you know 15 000
people tried to get it around
christmas time one of these barrels you know let's just mention it on the show
it might be able to get
40 000 people if they did if they did 25 raffle tickets 40 000 people that's
the first time fight for
the forgotten would ever raise a million dollars from any one specific donor
wow and so uh it's going to
be incredible for us because we're really trying to expand in the congo or
sorry actually uganda with
the pygmies so we move from there how many uh wells have been dug so 73 wow
yeah and when i came on the
first time zero you know that's amazing and we've been able to provide water
clean water to over 60 000
people wow and right now uh you know dustin when we fight khabib he uh helped
us raise i don't want to
slaughter but it was either 155 or 185 000 it was him dana and khabib whenever
they did their shirt
exchange uh dustin said he was going to try to raise 25 000 for us he blew
through that before the even
even the fight started that's amazing uh then they exchanged shirts and then we
were able to take that
money we were able to buy 48 acres of land for the pygmies in uganda wow and so
when they got kicked
out of the simuliki national forest um why did they get kicked out of it uh the
ugandan wildlife
authority would say to protect the forest and to protect the animals although
the pygmies are the
protectors of the forest and they deserve part of the forest because they're
the people of the forest
and so um i would say it was politics was there an issue with uh over hunting
or nothing they only take
what they need and they don't go after elephants they don't go after the things
they're not supposed
to they just go after the the wild hogs i mean t
